Texas GOP Primary: Romney 32%, Santorum 30%, Gingrich 19%, Paul 9%

Looking down the road to one of the biggest delegate prizes of them all, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are in a near tie in Rasmussen Reports’ first look at the Texas Republican Primary. A new telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters in Texas finds Romney earning 32% support to Santorum’s 30%. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich picks up 19% of the vote, and Texas Congressman Ron Paul runs fourth with nine percent (9%). Three percent (3%) like another candidate in the race, and seven percent (7%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This Texas survey of 750 Likely Republican Primary Voters was conducted on March 12, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

God I hope Newt wins Mississippi and Alabama today

The at large delegates are allocated proportionally and the CD delegates are allocated proportionally with a 20% threshold.

I think we'd be best of with Santorum somehow winning one and Gingrich winning the other, but I don't want Romney winning any.

Why Would Texas want to vote For Romney someone who has wanted to Bring the troops back in Iraq? this is why i believe its rigged for Romney

 

[AshleighWeaver]

[realtonygoodwin]

As a Texan, this is absolutely believable.

Football is very popular down there and Romney has friends who own football teams.

You guys have to realize, the main stream media is basically saying Ron Paul is no longer in the race. I bet the 9% we are seeing is due solely to the internet.

 

[James Madison]

By the time Texas votes, I'd expect Newt to be gone. Most of his support will go to Santorum.

 

[Jeremy]

It's not winner take all.

 

[Keith and stuff]

And just how Again? why do Texan want Romney?

Because he is better than Gingrich and Santorum? Santorum can still take it if he is still relevant at the time and really pushes the religious card. If Gingrich wins a few states before the TX Primary, he should at least be able to win a few delegates in TX. As was expected by pretty much everyone the whole time (every poll has always indicated this), Paul will not win TX. Paul tried to run statewide for US Senate before but did poorly with only 17% of the vote in the Republican Primary.

+1

Oddly enough, out of the big 3 Texas, California and New York, it looks like our best chance is actually New York.

About 5 or so years ago I used to admire the south somewhat. I mistook them for a people that craved independence/sovereignty from a central government. I'm actually pretty shocked I was wrong.

Didn't their ancestors fight tooth and nail in the hopes of avoiding an unstoppable centralized government? I definitely mis-interpreted our southern bretheren.
